By using the butt of her gun to hit them with, or bullets?You want to turn every patrol officer into a member of a SWAT or an anti-terrorism squad?So you think that police should go around hitting people with their guns, because they don't have a baton - even though they do?Pistol whipping is a non lethal submission tactic. I know you can't tell the difference between that and stabbing someone in the spleen with a bayonet affixed to an M-16 so I won't even try to explain it.
Idiot.
What about another alleged 'non-lethal tactic'? Like choke holding (kills people), slapping hard (severely injures people), using tasers (known to kill people with heart conditions), and attacking non-violent protesters with heavy crowd control gear and tear gas (which can cause deaths, amputations, and miscarriages). Just because a tactic is declared 'non-lethal' doesn't mean it isn't extreme or heavy handed. So you still don't get the point.
You can't tell the difference between a military police force, like that deployed by an authoritarian government, or a civilian police force.
So, what is the difference? A bayonet*, is the next step, after all, if you think that using one military method doesn't justify another, then you haven't paid attention in history class.
Russia Today would have a field day with people like you, and they already get enough propaganda ammunition from what US police do already - in violating civil liberties and humans rights to 'keep the peace'.
Thankfully the Justice Department doesn't think that hitting people with guns is a good tactic of keeping the peace, in fact it puts police in disrepute as it emphasizes police brutality and makes people lose faith in the police force.

Again...what would you tell a Dad sending his 21 year old daughter to Police Academy? Is she going to get the best possible hand to hand and gunfighting training they can offer? Or not?
As the 'best training available' is not on offer, for obvious reasons - most American neighborhoods are not full of terrorists and heavily violent criminals, in fact crime is on the decline in most towns and cities, and Baltimore is the exception rather than the rule: Crime Rates in U.S. Drop to 1970s levels
Violent crime in the U.S. fell 4.4 percent last year to the lowest level in decades, the FBI announced Monday.
In 2013, there were 1.16 million violent crimes, the lowest amount since the 1978’s 1.09 million violent crimes, Reuters reports.
All types of violent crimes experienced decline last year, with rape dropping 6.3 percent, murder and non-negligent manslaughter dropping 4.4 percent and robbery dropping 2.8 percent.
The rate of violent crime is 367.9 crimes for every 100,000 people, which marked a 5.1 percent decline since 2012. The rate has fallen each year since at least 1994.
But any cop on any day could. Garland TX? Fort Hood...that terrorist was dropped by a female civilian cop.
Patrol cops are the first to encounter violence. SWAT shows up 30 minutes later.
At no point was it necessary for her to use the butt of her gun to hit someone with: Police officer who shot Fort Hood suspect says she s doing well - CNN.com
Once inside, Munley, who has been trained in active-response tactics, began exchanging fire with the alleged gunman, Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, a military psychiatrist, authorities said. They said her shots disabled Hasan and halted the attacks.
You're dodging the question. No police academy in America teaches to pistol whip.
What im asking is about your quote regarding "demilitarized" police tactics. I said...they arent using military tactics. Exclusively military tactics inclide warships and tank battalions and bombers.
Police DO however attempt to use the best available hand to hand and firearms training available.
So.happens....that the military does do.
They both train people how to WIN a hand to hand fight and a figh involving small arms like pistols and rifles.
So...my question is...would you tell a father that his soon to be cop daughter...will get the best possible survival training for her to win a violent encounter? Or...are you gonna tone it down so no one is offended by her having those skills?
